Evan Longoria is one of the brightest young stars in the game today. During his rookie campaign in 2008 Longoria hit 27 HR and drove in 85 RBI good enough for Rookie of the Year honors. In addition he helped lead the Tampa Bay Rays to the franchises first World Series appearance. There was no sophomore slump for Longoria smashing 33 HR and 113 RBI in 2009. Longoria remains the face of the Rays and will be among the elite players in the league for years to come. Longoria has hand signed his game model bat on the sweet spot.
